Yes, I am a moaner, or so it would seem. But I don't know how to find the motivation to carry on. My Wellbutrin is doing it's job to not make me depressed and therefore keeping me away from sui thoughts, but I'm still just plain tired and overwhelmed. I need to push on- for the sake of my job, and a sense of achievement. But WOW, some mornings are so hard to get of bed, to be happy and excited.
It's horrible when every day is a drain. I can really just hope that the grass is greener on the other side.
Life has to start being about LIVING and not just SURVIVING.
I don't know the purpose of my post and also feel guilty for posting.
I'm not even sure this is a BP issue-maybe we do just handle pressure a lot worse; and you are my support structure- but I still decided to post here.

Leaving my job is not really an option. Until mid April, leave is not an option.
I guess I'm just looking for the odd, occassional hug and motivation-a post or a PM.
I feel weak-in a bad way; physically and emotionally.

Sorry x

So... what happens in mid April? Any possible new oppurtnities? Because if you cannot find the sense and motivation in what you are doing... it's gonna ruin you long term. Is there some realistic plan what can you change in the future?

Because sometimes it's changing the way we live that leads to healing. Forcing yourself to be "happy" when you are in bad place is unnatural... and it does not work long term.

Just consider your options.

aw u are not a moaner! Cause if u are so am I , and the next person, and the one after that and so on and so forth.....
We are here to help and because we need help, and I'm glad your reaching out and asking!
I'm glad the medication is keeping you out of the danger zone, but it possibly also contributes to ur tiredness.
Talk to ur doc about that one.
I'm sorry u can't just take a break right now.
That's so hard!
Your amazing don't forget it.
Xxxxxxx

Aw hell, suga! You knwo you're not a moaner, friend! Trust me, i'm a moaner, you're no moaner; we're all moaners!

Truth be told, my friend, is i too feel so utterly drained from all of it. but ya know what? what drives us is our unquenchable hope and desire for our own unqiue happiness. honey, you can't let that hope go, no matter what!

you've got a friend in me; a friend in all of us. we're all in it together, and if you feel drained, we'll fill you up with our love, and appreciation, and our understanding.

Lots of hugs, sugahorse!
This the place to moan - then I know it is so for me to.
It really is just exhausting to both cope and play the happy-and-content-game.

Hi Sugahorse and the BP Community. Please don't worry.....there are others like you. I've just got home from a 12 hour work day and posted on my Blog and joined this Community just today. I hope you check back in and see that there are people concerned about you. I find writing very good. I hope this helps you and all the best, Carolyne

Thank you Carolyne and welcome.
I'm still in a 'stable' mood, in that I haven't fallen into depression. But I'm exhausted beyond belief. On second thoughts; maybe it is depression. Just not as bad as I've been. But emotionally I am done for.
I just don't care any more. I'm lashing out at people, when all I really want is a hug and comfort. Why is this so elusive? Why can I not just get on with it and see the positive?

Sugahorse, I am so sorry if you don't have a support system of people where you are....but I hope you do. Thanks for the welcome. I try to be helpful to others in need. I usually go manic, but haven't had an episode for a while. I am very positive about things. Hope some of it rubs off on you to help you. Carolyne

Thanks Carolyne
As the stress subsides, I do feel better. And I really am glad that Wellbutrin has been as effective as it is, to stop a relapse into depression.
My support structure is limited, but I do have a few genuine friends, as well as my PC family
